A LETTER FROM THE CO-CHAIRS
P A G E 0 2
To our Potential Partners,
As we enter into our sixth year, QHacks is dedicated more than ever to ensure that we providehackers with opportunities to expand their skills, networks, and realm of possibility. Within only sixyears, our event has reached thousands of people and been the incubator for many game-changinginnovations. Our success has all been possible due to the continual support of our partners, such asyourself!
This year we plan to focus on recruiting a diverse selection of hackers for our 2021 event. As the firstco-chairs that are both women, we are hoping to encourage more individuals from differentbackgrounds and identities to explore what is typically a male-dominated field. We are proud thatwe had 228 female-identifying hackers in 2019 and hope to continue making strides towardsadvocating for a more inclusive tech community at Queen's University, Canada, and globally.
As it has been decided, QHacks 2021 will be fully virtual! As per QHacks of the past, we intend to holdan event that will provide our hackers and partners with a high quality, positive, and professionalexperience. Our priority is making this a positive experience while keeping everyone safe and healthy.
On behalf of our executive team, we would like to thank you for taking the time to review ourpartnership package. We all look forward to hearing back from you and discussing the possibilities ofbecoming a QHacks 2021 partner!
Sincerely,
Kiran Kaur & Jess DassanayakeQHacks 2021 Co-Chairs
